"The World Turned Upside Down – Rebel Militia Brigade" Topic

My recent focus on building up my AWI collection to produce some larger battles in time for the forthcoming commemoration of American Independence, and perhaps timely given the 249th commemoration yesterday, I have upgraded my Tryon and Albany County Militia, completed earlier as part of my Mohawk Valley project to enable them to appear on a larger table as battalion type units, complete with colours.

The sabot basing I am using for these units should enable a more seamless way of adapting them for large or small actions where colours may or may not be required and indeed when these units can be used to represent Rebel or Tory militia as well as motley Continentals if the need arises.

If you would like to know more then just follow the link to JJ's.

Great painting and basing.

Nice. Always fun to paint units that are not all the same uniform.

Exactly. Best part of Continental units is that barely half are uniformly uniformed. 😄👍
Militia? Seriously? Civilian clothes, scraps of uniforms worn last year, hunting shirts…

Very nice painting too.

Thanks for your comments chaps.

The Perry plastics are very easily adapted for this kind of project and kit bashing with them is a lot of fun,and I am looking forward to adding to the collection in the coming months.

I really like the Perry plastics Continental Infantry box. I have made them up as Continentals, Militia, and Loyalists.
